Location Hybrid, can be primarily remote

Help shape a modern, cloud-based data landscape.

This is a great opportunity for a Data Engineer who enjoys designing scalable data solutions and working with the latest Microsoft technologies. You’ll play a key role in developing a new data platform that modernises how data is ingested, transformed, and delivered across the organisation.

You’ll be working within an ambitious data function that is moving towards Microsoft Fabric and a medallion‑style architecture. The work is hands‑on, technically interesting, and directly connected to real business outcomes.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and enhancing data pipelines within Microsoft Fabric and the wider Azure ecosystem.
• Implementing a Bronze / Silver / Gold data architecture to standardise structure, quality, and consumption across key datasets.
• Working closely with analytics, digital, and operational teams to understand their requirements and deliver practical engineering solutions.
• Improving automation, performance, and reliability across the data platform.
• Contributing to patterns, documentation, and data standards that support a consistent engineering approach.
• Embedding good practice around data quality, lineage, and governance using Fabric-native capabilities.

What we’re looking for

• A Data Engineer with hands‑on experience in Microsoft cloud data platforms, Microsoft Fabric, or Azure-based technologies.
• Strong SQL skills and practical experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and scalable data models.
• Experience working with medallion‑style architectures.
• A good understanding of data governance principles, documentation, and best practice.
• Someone who can work collaboratively, communicate clearly, and translate requirements into well‑engineered data solutions.

You’ll be joining an organisation that is actively modernising its data capabilities. This role offers the chance to influence engineering choices and help shape the future architecture, working within a small and highly skilled team.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a meaningful contribution and help build a cloud‑first data environment while staying fully hands‑on with modern tools, then please apply with a current CV.
